Description
Tight Sound Pickup Whereas traditional shotgun mics use supercardioid polar patterns, the Mic-D1 utilizes a hypercardioid pickup pattern to provide even tighter frontal focus, more attenuation at the sides, and slightly increased rear pickup, making it an ideal choice for recording in indoor or outdoor environments.
The Mic-D1’s circuit employs a switchable 180 Hz high-pass filter to attenuate common sources of low-frequency buildup such as rumble, allowing its tone to complement sound effects as well as dialogue.
Battery or Phantom Powered The Mic-D1 is compliant with 48V phantom powering for use with field recorders, external mic preamps, and professional camcorders.
Alternatively, a single AA battery (available separately) can power the Mic-D1 for up to 100 hours when using the mic with devices that don’t supply phantom power—mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, and passive mixer adapters.
XLR Output and Multiple Cables The balanced 3-pin XLR output features gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and maintain the integrity of your signal.
Use the included XLR cable to connect the Mic-D1 to a preamp that can supply 48V phantom power or opt for the supplied XLR to 3.5mm cable to plug the Mic-D1 directly into a camera or portable audio recorder that doesn’t provide phantom power.
Ideal for Boompole Mounting Lightweight and just over 11″ long, the Mic-D1 is well suited for use on a boompole or mic stand.
It includes a mic holder with 5/8″ and 3/8″ options for mounting versatility.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise The Mic-D1 includes a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.
